New Courfice' United Church Deng Erected Near IIighway BHas InteresfingBackground Much interest has been created during the past year in the suc- cessful campaign carried on by the people of the Courtice com- munity ta build and equip the new church just west and a bit north of the village proper. Ex- tensions are planned for the fu- ture and public support is stili in- vited to fulfil the ultimate plans. To continue interest in the church the following history written by Clarence Penfourd will be found an absorbing background. In the eariy part of the last cen- tury a Wesleyan, Meth o d i s t Church, known as Mt. Carmel, was situated an the higihway just west of Courtice, serving the peo- pie of that faith in the commun- ity. Later when the Wesleyan and Bible Christian Churches un- ited, this congregation jained with the church at Ebenezer and the building an the highway was tomn down and moved to b uiid the ad- dition 110w used as a Sunday School at Ebenezer. Interest Revived Later for a number af years the Salvatian Army heid meetings in the hall owned by the Mt. Cars- well Division of the Sons of Tem- perance which was situated north and west af the aid church. These services were discontinued about the turn of the centry and no ser- ious effort, was made ta organize worki there until about 1929, dur- Ing the pastorate ai Rev. Harold Stain'on, who with the assistance ý': M,'*. Pctley, a local preacher, carried cn services in the hall owned by Mr. Pidduck.

Then on Nov. 7, 1934, the present Courtice Sunday School was organized as a non-denornina- tianal S.S. with Mr. Jack Wiggans as Superintendent. Sunday School Services Meetings were held in the Pub- lic School at Courtice and carried an until 1937 when* on Feb. 8, un- der the Superintendency ai Luth- er Beckett, it vated ta become a United Church S.S. and has car- ried an with varying degrees ai success under the leadership of Mr. Beckett, Clarence Penfound, Luther Barrabail, Eddie Warbur- ton and Mrs. J. H. Heron, who is the present Superintendent. During this period church ser- vices were held but nat egulariy until it became United during the pastorate ai Rev. W. C. Smith, now ai Port Perry, who held ser- vices every other Sunday evening, preaching at Courtice at 7 and at iÊbenezer at 8 o'clock. This ar- rangement has been continued by Rev. .H. C. Linstead and Rev Frank Yardley. Building Fund Soon after the S.S. was argan- ized, they designated the second Sunday ai every month as the Building Fund Sunday when the collection was given ta the build- ing fund and the decisian was ta- ken ta cammence building a per- manent Sunday Schaol structure. A Women's Association was or- ganized which bas carried an very successfully and bas taken a ma- therly interest in the S.S. from the beginning. Late in 1945, changing condi- tions seemed ta make it necessary for the S.S. ta begin building at once, so a site was purchased. It was then found that a Sunday School couid not hold property. The only satisfî.ctory solution was ta organize a congregation and the necessary steps were taken on May 21, 1946, and Courtice Unit- ed Church came into being under the pastorate oi Rev. H. C. Smith. Newv Building Started The trustees were authorizcd ta buiid basement church and work was begun. Owing to difficulties common ta building operatians these times the building was no't completed in 1946 and this ycar under the direction ai Wilfred Pogson oi Oshawa, it has been carried ta a point where compie- tion is in sight. The building, situated just north ai the store ai Earl Truil, former- ly owned by Mr. Pidduck, is ai cement block construction, 70 x 28, and fitted with steel beams which aiford a room free of al obstructions and wiil allow the basement ta be fuily compieted and need not be d4sturbed when the church proper is built at a later time. Board Gives Thanks Much ai the labor and aiso con- siderable material has been donat- cd and generous contributions have been received from many well wishers for which the Church Board expresses very grateful thanks.
